* {{Teleportation}}: The US government is running a teleportation experiment which is designed to transport three animals (a dog, a raccoon and a goat) several miles from a testing area to a research lab. It requires the energy produced by a tactical nuclear warhead in order to work. The technology was developed by Dr. Mark Crest, based on the work of his colleague (and former lover) Dr. Cleo Lazar.
** Mark soon realizes that Glad intends to turn the device into a weapon. As he relates to Cleo, which sounds more appealing to a military man: teleporting equipment back and forth...or teleporting entire enemy divisions into another dimension?
* TimeCrash: A teleportation experiment goes wrong after an attempt to weaponize it by a corrupt military official, which results in a GroundhogDayLoop...a rare GroundhogDayLoop with a time limit. Each iteration grows shorter, and eventually there will be no hope of preventing the Time Crash from destroying the world. In the end, the disaster is averted, and the man responsible suffers a Karmic Fate Worse than Death, as he's caught forever in the moment of his own annihilation by the malfunctioning time machine.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Mark briefly gets this when he realizes the only reason Glade was pushing this project was that he saw how to turn the teleporter into a weapon and that, inadvertently, Mark's project threatens the entire world.

* SpottingTheThread: At first figuring that the experiment went awry because Julie sabotaged it, Mark and Cleo are jarred when the loop begins again. As they try to figure things out, Mark realizes that in every previous loop, when the machine began, everyone was looking at the test animals, preparing to see them vanish...except Glade, who was studying the data screens. Mark realizes the only reason for that is Glade ''knew'' the machine was going to react as it did because he was behind the sabotage in an attempt to weaponize it.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Colonel Glade has a Silver Star Ribbon in the bottom row, with a Bronze Star above it. A Silver Star should be in the top row with the Bronze Star close by. There is also a Good Conduct ribbon in a row above the Silver Star, which is not allowed. Awards for valor or gallantry are always at the top. Also despite being credited as "Lt. Colonel Lester Glade", he is actually wearing the rank insignia of a full Colonel.

* AndIMustScream: This episode deals with a failed teleportation experiment that traps the main character in a shrinking time loop. While he manages to break free in the end, the antagonist isn't as lucky. He gets caught in another time loop that forces him to relive the last few seconds preceding a nuclear explosion at point blank range, most likely for all eternity.
* BookEnds: Since this episode involves a GroundhogDayLoop, the Control Voice's opening and closing narrations are identical: "We exist in time. Moving forever forward through moments in our lives. Moments that which, once experienced, can never be relived. Or can they?"
* EcoTerrorist: Julie Alger sabotages the teleportation experiment as she believes that it is against nature.
* GroundhogDayLoop: A time loop occurs due to a failed wormhole experiment. However, at each round the loop gets shorter and shorter, with less time to prevent the impending disaster. The protagonists succeed, with the GeneralRipper who sabotaged the experiment becoming trapped in a seconds-long version, just enough time for him to see that the triggering explosion is about to happen and cover his face. The Control Voice's opening and closing narration for this episode were identical.
* KarmicDeath: A character suffers a Karmic FateWorseThanDeath; the general who secretly tried to weaponize a teleportation experiment ends up trapped in an endless loop of the second before his death when the experiment goes awry.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Dr. Mark Crest is able to remember previous iterations of the GroundhogDayLoop. Immediately before being struck by the expanding teleportation field, he grabbed a transformer cable and the electromagnetic field that it generated partially cancelled out the effects of the loop. In a later iteration, he brings his colleague Dr. Cleo Lazar [[NoPunIntended into the loop]] by holding her as he grabs the cable.
